Greek text · Dindorf 4:115–116

Εὔλογον δʼ ἐνταῦθα γενομένους ἀνακεφαλαιώσασθαι τὰς δηλωθείσας τῆς καινῆς διαθήκης γραφάς. καὶ δὴ τακτέον ἐν πρώτοις τὴν ἁγίαν τῶν εὐαγγελίων τετρακτὺν, οἷς ἴπε- ται ἡ τῶν πράξεων τῶν ἀποστόλων γραφή.

English · Claude translation

Having come to this point, it is reasonable to sum up the writings of the New Testament that have been mentioned. First, then, must be placed the holy tetrad of the Gospels, followed by the writing of the Acts of the Apostles.
